Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans or any DC character. However, I do own Ghost Blade, Spirit Fire and Soul Drive.

Note: I'm back, but don't I still have to get back into the writing format I use for novels and/or novel like things, so there might be present tense thing that should be past tense.


Part Two: The Titans

Ch 10: Returning Home

"How?" Gizmo questioned Raven.

Raven leaned forward between the two front seats of the T-van and pressed a bottom under the dashboard. The old tunnel gate opened quickly. "I thought you said you studied the T-car the last time you were in it." Raven retained her monotone voice.

"I did!" Gizmo retaliated with his tone. "But, the snot brain changed some things."

Raven sat back down in her seat as Gizmo drove into the tunnel.

There was silence in the T-van until Gizmo pulled up to a giant metal door. "I don't get it." Mammoth began. "If the base is out in the open, why is there a secret entrance?"

Kid Flash rolled his eyes. "For the same reason the tower is on an island. We're showing that we're here, but we still need the extra defense."

"Is it the same bottom?" Gizmo asks.

Before any of the Titans could answer, the metal door began to slide up into the ceiling. Light flooded into the tunnel from the Titans's garage. Cyborg stood in the garage smiling at them.

"How ya all doin'?" He watched Gizmo pull into the garage and closed the door as they all exited the T-van. "Nightwing called ahead and told me you guys were coming. I figured it was you guys when the gate's sensors were tripped." He walked over to Raven. "It's good to have you back."

Raven smiles. "It's good to be back."

Cyborg takes a step backwards. "Now, that was creepy."

Raven gives him a death glare. "Finally taking Beast Boy's side?"

"Uh…" Cyborg looks around, obviously looking for something he could use to escape. He finally rushes over to the T-van. "Look! No one returned the T-cat to normal."

Cyborg bends into the T-van and presses one of the bottoms on the dashboard. The T-van transforms back into the T-car.

Raven walks over to Mammoth and Mirror. "What happened at the mansion?"

"Slade." All eyes turn to Mammoth. "He attacked with his slade-bots thinking you were there. When he found out you were there something seemed to have over come him and he set the mansion on fire."

"What do you mean something over came him?" Kid Flash asked.

Mammoth looked at Kid Flash. "At first, he seemed like he had no intension of killing anyone, but when he found out Raven wasn't there, he went ballistic."

"How did you guys get out?" Jinx asked.

Mammoth looked to Jinx. "Ourselves and six others were trapped near the cellar. I only knew two of them, Aero and Spirit Fire." Mammoth looked back to Raven. "We escaped using a tunnel that lead back to the city, but it collapsed on the others." Everyone had a look of remorse on their faces. "Aero and Spirit Fire were near the end and could have survived, but I don't think any of the others did."

Cyborg sighs. "We've got a little more time before Nightwing arrives, so let's try and keep ourselves busy." He walks over to the stairs. "I'm going to go and get the others."

Raven nudges Jinx and points to Cyborg, she then teleports in front of Cyborg. "I'll go and get them." Raven then teleports away.

Cyborg turns around to find Jinx right there. "Would you like something."

Jinx smiles mischievously. "I'd like to speak with you in private."

"Okay." Cyborg responds, doing his best to suppress a smile. They move out of ear shoot of the others. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't really want to talk at all." Before Cyborg could even process what she had said, she had planted her lips on his. Jinx pulled back and smiled. "I believe you've wanted to do that since the dance."

Cyborg returned with his own smile. "I think you've been wanting more since the dance." With that said, Cyborg brought they're lips together once again, but this time their tongues become intertwined as there passion began to take over.

"Having fun you two?" Came the voice of Nightwing.

Cyborg and Jinx slowly turn to Nightwing, pulling apart as they do so. They both smile like they were two little kids caught stealing cookies at night.

Nightwing nods towards the beginning of a red car. "Is that it?"

"Sure is." Cyborg stands proud. "It should be done in a few weeks."

"Friends! You are back!" Everyone turns to see an excited Starfire fly towards Nightwing and hug the life out of him, almost literally. She then flies over to Kid Flash and almost kills him too in a hug. "It is good to have you back."

Starfire turns to the others. "Hello new friend whose name I do not know and those who are not friends, but will hopefully become friends." Her smile never left her face.

Starfire flies over to Supergirl. "I am Starfire. What is your name, new friend?

"Supergirl." Starfire warps Supergirl in one of her hardest hugs, but Supergirl just smiles. "She's very strong, it actually feels like a real hug."

Mammoth walks over to Nightwing. "What happened to Brother Blood?"

Before Nightwing can respond, Red X cuts in. "Where's Ghost Blade?"

Nightwing sighs. "To both questions, I don't know."

Red X grabs Nightwing's costume. "What do you mean you don't know? What happened?"

Nightwing pulls Red X off of him. "The yellow power ring that the green lantern had was broken by Ghost Blade and it exploded. When I could see again, they were all gone."

"They're dead." Everyone turns to Red X. "Ghost Blade's dead." She falls to her knees and starts crying. Red X starts to have trouble breathing and starts coughing, so she pulls off her mask, revealing her green eyes that were so full of pain. "I have never loved anyone but him and now he's gone."

Nightwing bends down and places a hand on her shoulder. "We don't know anything for sure. We'll search for him, don't you worry."

Mary manages a small smile. "Thank you."

Suddenly, a bright green light bursts open in the room and as it fades, a person is clearly seen there.

As the light completely disappears, Ghost Blade falls to his knees. "I really don't even need to do that again."

Mary run over to him and warps him tightly in her arms. "You're okay. I'm so glad you're alright. I love you so much Valere."

Ghost Blade pushes Mary at arms length. "You are so lucky that I have no family here."

Mary gives him a confused look. "Why?"

"You just said my real name." Ghost Blade responds.

"Oh shit." Mary covers her mouth.

"As long as you're going to be a hero, I don't think it would matter much." Nightwing walks over to Ghost Blade. "What happened anyways?"

Ghost Blade looks down a little. "I can't remember."


I know exactly how may people read each chapter, so could someone tell me why only a few right reviews?
